generally reported in Rome that he had
passed away, but life was not extinct
until last Monday at noon.
Like Pope Leo Kill, Lodovico
Jacobini is an italian. The Sacred
College consists of cardlnal-bishops.
cardinal-priests, and cardinal-deacons.
Jacobini was a cardinal bishop. He
was nominated Cardinal in 1879, one
year before he became ponti6cal secre-
tary OF state. He was born in the year
1880, and had earned eminence as a
diplomatist when quite a young man.
When appointed Cardinal he had been
for many years Papal Nuncio at
Vienna, wehre he had established such
cordial relations with the Emperor
King, Franz Josef l., that his majesty
requested of the Vatican that he be
permitted to remain at the capital. AS
at the time there were delicate negotia-
tions pending with Russia concerning
the status of the Polish Catholics, and
the Bosnian and Herzegovinian organ
izations had yet to he concluded, the
august request was cheerfully granted.
Cardinal Jacobini has long enjoyed the
reputation of being one of the most sue.
cessful and brilliant diplomatists of
modern times. In his death the Church
loses one of it's most faithful and de-
voted workers. .sst

The Irish question is not the only
subject that the Hon. William Ewart
Gladstone is sound on. Inhis Studies
of Homer he has this to say of the
Catholic Church: "She has marched
for fifteen hundred years at the head of
civilization, and has harnessed to its
chariot, as the horses of a triumphal
car, the chief intellectual and material
forces of the world; its genius the ge-
MUS of the world; it's greatness, glory,

though not absolutely, all that in these

QUEEN VIC appears to be having no
end of bad luck in this her jubilee year.
The announcement is. made that the
Princess Louise is seeking divorce
from her plebeian consort. the Marquis
of Lorne. Additional interest is given
to the case from the fact that several
important witnesses are expected to be
summoned to give evidence, if the suit
is pressed to an issue. Many persons
who visited Rideau Hall during Lorne's
incumbency as Governor General of
Canada were impressed with the
strained relations which appeared to
exist between the two. 1t mattered not
whether at dinner, theatrical enter
tainment, toboggan party or bail, the
same cold indifference as 20 the pleas
ures or comfort of either could not pass
unobserved. While the Marquis was
always credited with being an admirer
of pretty women and with enjoying a
harmless Irritation, if there were any
naughty stories, as have been told of his
brother, Lord Colin, they never became
public property. There was story told
about fascinating adventures, who in
some way gainel an entree to Rideau
Hall, and subsequently, it is said, at.
tempted to blackmail His Excellency,
but as the chief Of police was handed
the note she had addressed to him. it's
contents were never disclosed. This
fair damsel numbered lords, knights
and parsons among her dupes, from
whom she would show billets doux
couched in the most endearing terms.
There was an open rupture between
the Marquis and Princess from. their

last week has been the most destructive
one of modern times. The loss of life
has been something fearful. Already
646 persons are known to have been

persons are homeless, and the material
losses are estimated at $1,O0O,000, fall

AS WE have heretofore stated, the
Knights of Labor are likely to be bene-
fitted by the kindly feeling entertained
towards that organization by His EN-
inence Cardinal Gibbons. A telegram
from Rome states that the American
bishops take a favorable view OF the
Knights of Labor, and Cardinal Glib
bons has placed before the Vatican a
formal statement as to the nature of
the organization, and the attitude the
Church should adopt toward it. The
Cardinal says in this that he considers
any condemnation of the Knights to be
not only useless but, highly inopportune
and might ALLEVIATE the sympathy of the
American laboring classes from the
Church and hamper the mission of the
Church to the laboring poor. In addi-
ton to the above positions recon-
mended by the statement of Cardinal
Gibbons, the Primate treats the alarm
list theories respecting the knights of
Labor as puerile, and says nearly one
third of the men belonging to the or
ganization are Roman Catholics. Re-
specting the charge that the association
is secret order the Cardinal says it is
not secret society in the sense con-
demned by the Church. consequently it
is exempt from canonical censure. Car
dinal Gibbons further says he considers
the organization of the Knights of La
Dor in the United States not only harm
less, but possibly it may be beneficial in
the eventual settlement of the great
question of the proper relations between
labor and capital. The knights are to
be congratulated on having such a
champion of their cause in Rome as the
American Cardinal. His Eminence is

DE L1sLE's AUDAo1oUs PROPOSAL

DE LISLE'S AMBIGUOUS PROPOSAL.
1T is rumored that the Tory Govern
ment is seriously considering the fero-
cious and impudent suggestion of Mr..
Edwin De Lisle, NJ. p. for Middle Lei
cester, to prosecute Archbishop Croke
for s.high treason The very head
and front of The Archbishop's Offend
ing is that he advocated the non-pay-
ment of taxes, and expressed his SYM
pathy with the Irish people in their
fight for self government. For this the
inane and brutal suggestion Of this inn
pudent member of Parliament is liable
to be acted upon and the humane and
venerated Archbishop subjected TO ar
rest. It is hard to believe that, even de-
void of common sense and humane feel
ings as many of the Tories appear to be,
they will go this far. But the serious
side to Mr.. De Isles proposition can
not be overlooked. In case Archbishop
Croke was tiled for high treason he
would probably suffer death, just the
same as the sainted Oliver Plunket,
Catholic Archbishop of Armagh, who
was dragged over to London two hun.
bred years ago, tried there for 'shigh
treason convicted, sentenced tc
death, and hanged, drawn and quar-.
tered at Tyburn, although, as the Irish
World says, the Protestant Archbishop
of Dublin s expressed aloud his horror
and fearlessly declared the Catholic
primate as innocent of the crimes al
leged as an unborn child;;" but the d.
Lisles in London, true to their accursed
traditions, gloated over the opportun;
ity afforded them of numbering al
Irish Catholic bishop, and thel
